Oh yeah...nice job Ben!

BTW-You guys should be releasing those downstreamers, they taste terrible (BTDT) and would return next year to be true gorrillas.

Follow the bubbles eh...

Seems like I heard this somewhere... :smt001

     I was busy up river and upon joining Ben and Patrick downstream no one even said anything but,  "it sure looks fishy here". A minute or two later I hear it again...hmmmm...somethings up. Finally Ben cruises alongside and I suddenly realize he's towing a fish on a stringer....WTF..where did that thing come from?
    It was another unbelievable day on the water. The flotilla of drift boats did not fare as well as yesterday...not even close. The water was perfect for the first few miles of the drift and then it got kinda dirty looking instead of the pretty green. The flows are just about perfect for kayak fishing if you have river experience......

     Congratulations Ben!!  Hope Adam caught a monster sturgeon today or he's gonna be smoked!! :smt013

Good job Ben. I was at work today and I knew I was going to get a call today. Not as early as yesterday but I got the call at 3 PM. Your buddy Allen is a real funny guy. I almost made it all day without thinking too much of steelheading with you guys, TILL 3. Thats a real nice fish. Congrats Ben , you deserve it. After all the time youv'e spent on the bay. Now you have one of the elusive ones in the books. You didn't find a spear head too, did ya'?
